About this eBook

Grayson Blisswood moves back to town, intent on a second chance with the one who got away. But he needs to win over the single mom, and lucky for him, she's his new next-door neighbor…

It wasn’t in my plan to move back to the town I left 12 years ago. Or become guardian to my sister who doesn’t miss the opportunity to remind me that I’ve traded off city life for small-town antics or that my first love Brooke Rivers, of all women, is living next door with an adorable three-year-old kid who may just wrap me around her finger—the kid, I mean… okay, the mom too.

But it’s complicated.

It involves a weekend way back, in a bed Brooke and I never left—the memory of me hurting her, and the moment Brooke got her chance to hurt me too. In her head, she’s built a giant wall between us. In my mind, I’m determined to tear it down. And as luck would have it, I need her cookies for the high school bake sale, and she needs my skills at putting together her daughter’s new playhouse. Soon, we are exchanging favors, and even better, our clothes are ending up on the floor in the process.

But she’s adamant that there is too much at stake for us. And when a twist of fate hits us, unexpectedly revealing a secret, I’m beginning to think that she may be right, or just maybe what she and I have may finally be something right…

Grayson Blisswood will make you swoon in this second-chance novel set in the small-town Midwest. This is book one in the interconnected Blisswood Brothers series but can be read as a standalone. The series follows the brothers as they run their family winery & farm, the Olive Owl, and find romance along the way.

4 Star review of Something Right (Blisswood Brothers #1) by E H Lyon E.H. Lyon is a relatively new author to me. For the last few years I have been gravitating to single parent stories, add in that it is set in a small town and I couldn’t wait to dive into Something Right, book one in her latest series. This was an entertaining, at times emotional read that left me a smile on my face and I cannot wait to read more in the series. Grayson (Gray) Blisswood has returned home after twelve years to take care of his teenage sister, Lucy. Living next door is single mum Brooke Rivers, a woman he has a complicated history with and her cute daughter Rosie. When they came face to face again, the sparks still sizzles between them but there are complications. I fell hard and fast for Gray, such a swoon worthy man and little Rosie almost stole the book out from under Gray and Brooke. From the first chapter to the last I was invested in this fast paced story. It was a heart warming, sweet, romantic second chance at love story with characters whose story you cannot help but become invested in. I cannot wait to read more of the Blisswood Brothers and their Olive Owl winery and farm.

3.75 stars --SOMETHING RIGHT is the first instalment in EH Lyon’s contemporary, adult THE BLISSWOOD BROTHERS erotic, romance series. This is former high school sweethearts, architect Grayson Blisswood, and single mother/ hospital administrator Brooke Rivers’ story line. Told from dual first person perspectives (Grayson and Brooke) SOMETHING RIGHT follows the second chance romance and relationship between former high school sweethearts, architect Grayson Blisswood, and single mother/ hospital administrator Brooke Rivers. Twelve years earlier Grayson Blisswood left the small town of Bluetop Illinois heading for bigger and better things, leaving a heartbroken Brooke Rivers’ behind. With only the occasional visit back home, Grayson would eventually settle down in Chicago, never forgetting about the woman he left back home but weeks after their last visit, Brooke announces she is pregnant with someone else’s baby, sending Grayson into a spiral of loss and love. Fast forward to present day, Grayson returns to Bluetop, Illinois in the wake of his father’s death, to look after his sixteen year old sister Lucy but Grayson never expected to pick up with Brooke, from where they left off, until the heart demands more than a passing interest. What ensues is the rebuilding romance and relationship between Brooke and Grayson, and the potential fall-out when the truth is revealed throwing our couple into another spiral from where they may not return. Grayson Blisswood has never stopped loving Brooke Rivers but school, life and a career as an architect sent Grayson to the big city where he started on the ladder of success. Never expecting to come home to look after his younger sister, or work the family owned winery and farm, Grayson struggles with his return to Bluetop Illinois but none more so than Brooke Rivers. Brooke Rivers is a single mother who battles between head and heart for a man who is about to break her heart, again. Brooke has struggled in the years since Grayson left for something more, a struggle that continues with the possibility of breaking her heart, all over again. The relationship between Grayson and Brooke is a second chance romance; a rekindling romance in which our couple never stopped wanting one another but life, death and children sent them in different directions, coming full circle with the realization that Bluetop Illinois may be where they begin anew. The $ex scenes are intimate passionate and seductive without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text. We are introduced to Grayson’s brothers Knox and Bennett, as well as their sister Lucy; Brooke’s three year old daughter Rosie, and Brooke’s friend and salon owner Kelsey. Bennett and Kelsey’s story line is next in SOMETHING MORE. SOMETHING RIGHT is a story of second chances; heart break and forgiveness, acceptance and love. The premise is captivating and engaging- the twist was easily deduced; the romance is impassioned and intense; the characters are energetic, colorful and animated.
